POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS

This post has been written by Aarón Pereira - 3ºB, school year 2016/17

Up to 20 million Americans are afraid of Friday the 13th because they think it is an unlucky day. Some are so scared and they spend the day in bed. Others won´t drive because they think they could have a car accident. There is even an American film called Friday the 13th It is about the awful things that happen at a summer camp.

"The Last Supper". The fear of Friday the 13th comes from a belief that Friday is an unlucky day and 13 an unlucky number. Some Christians believe that 13 is an unlucky number because there were 13 people at The Last Supper and one of them, Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ and they also believed that Jesus died on a Friday.

Finally, in lots of hotels they think that the 13 is not a good number and they skip the 13th floor in the numbers of the lift. They go from the 12th to the 14th floor. 

Well done, Aarón!!!!
